In addition to changes in marketing, customer desire is also evolving. Neckover doesn’t consider itself a custom trailer dealer per se. However, they have a myriad of options that they have been able to scale into their production-based manufacturing process. Some options include rubber flooring, canvas tops, rectangular tubing, side walkouts, rear light bars with clear loading lights, and interior dome lights. Neckover also offers a multitude of gate options that include movable cut gates, heavy-duty bullgate, swing/ slide side gate, and gate in gates. Something Neckover recently introduced is a trailer washout, called the BULL WASH. Neckover touts the Bull Wash as their frustration-free bull mucking system. “For our truck bed line, we have a good base product. We design each bed to not only stand up to the toughest conditions but also look like a million bucks doing it. Our hauler bed, with the headache rack toolbox option, is what I like to call our ‘Saturday Night Bed’,” Czajkoski explained. “You can go from the field or rig straight to date night and still look sharp without giving up the usability or strength that your work truck needs. You’re getting a high-end custom bed look without paying custom, only-for-look price.” Producing 95% of their products in-house means that the staff at Neckover are the craftsmen who cut, bend and weld each steel item. They work this way to provide premium quality-control and to maintain the integrity of the final product. Neckover exclusively uses Shelby Trailer Service for rubber stock trailer flooring, Nova Light USA LEDs, Henderson Canvas Products for tarps, and PPG Industries for paint. It also partners with Rockwell American to supply axles, Ram Trailer Products for jacks and couplers, and B&W Trailer Hitches. With Neckover Trailers, you’re not only getting #BullTuff products, you’re getting a relationship. “Most people that buy trailers have a ranch with livestock or are hauling large items. They usually need some type of customization for their specific outfit. They can get it through us. Customers can give the manufacturing plant or the dealer a call, and they can have a very in-depth, knowledgeable conversation about what we can do to help them. We’re large enough that we know what we’re doing, but we’re still small enough that we can shake hands with our dealers and customers.” Young explained.
